Are you a good listener? Are you passionate about working with people, and have the desire to help others? Maybe you are interested in working with people experiencing complex situations to find healthy coping strategies for personal and psychological issues. If this sounds like you, taking up a counselling course at TAFE WA could give you the qualification you need to take on clients and provide assistance using counselling therapy.

Counsellors are qualified practitioners who are trained to deliver compassionate counselling therapies to clients. This can include using communication, micro-counselling, and interviewing skills in order to assist clients as they require. Because of the nature of their work, they must be ethical and objective, as well as empathetic and understanding of the issues that affect their clients.

Not all disabilities are the same, but what is important is that all people with a disability deserve to live an enriched life, just as abled people do. Over the years, there has been a large push for comprehensive and compassionate support for people with a disability, and today, the industry is as significant as ever. If you are interested in a career that is not only challenging, but also meaningful, it might be a great idea to consider a beginning in disability services.

Working in disability services can help you make a big difference in people’s lives.
